I disagree with what you're saying for a few reasons:

1. The claim that Assange is being tortured is being made by a single individual as their personal opinion, and 2. The claims of torture are from actions taken by the governments of the UK and Sweden

The actions of foreign countries have no bearing on if he would get a fair trial in the US; the two ideas are not correlated at all.

1. The article covers many details. What evidence informs your personal opinion that the observations and judgement of the UN Special Rappoeteur on Torture should be discounted?

2. You seem to be indicating that actions by the UK, Sweden, and Ecuador are happening completely independent of any coordination with or influence from the US government. I don’t believe that you believe that.
